Why not use the editoptions “top and left to place the modal where you want it?

I see… I have Linux+FF so can't realy test this much, buch couldn't we just alter the jqModal.css file responsible for styling. After all, the one thing that the author of jqModal claims is that it is flexible.

We could have a container div and then create the modal div inside the container. The container could be relative position and that way we could get absolute/relative position for the modal. (not sure if this is possible but will look into it when I have a bit more time) What do you think Ton?

Hi Tony.

Sorry for the long absence, but my schedule has been crazy these past few weeks.

Anyway, I started looking into this issue and here are my findings.

In my opinion, the best way to solve this problem would be to have the ability to specify where we want the modal created. From what I gathered, you append it to the body in all but one case so it is after everything else.

If we could append it to say a container div with an id specified by us, we could have greater control of the modal window position.

Container div would have position:relative and then the modal window could be postion:absolute, but relative to container div.

Hope this makes some sense…

Is this change possible?

Cheers,
P.

I'm having the exact same issue, anyone came up with a solution yet? The issue seems to appear regardless of the browser, FireFox included.

Hello,

It depends on how you call the method. Do you have set a top and left property?

Remember the position of the modal is fixed – so if you have scrolling page it will be quite possible that this window will appear above and below the grid.
